Before & After Photos

Steve and Jane R. of Hanley Falls, MN had several cracked foundation walls in their basement, causing them to worry about the stability of their home. They found us in the phone book and called to schedule a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jeremy Girgen, went to their house to inspect the walls and come up with a solution. Steve and Jane were confident in Jeremy's proposal, so they scheduled an isntallation date. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew dug seven holes in the backyard and installed a long rod in each hole from the outside soil to the inside foundation wall. Our team installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors on each rod, made to stabilize and straighten the walls into their natural position. Juan and his team backfilled the holes and replaced the soil. Steve and Jane were thrilled with the outcome and their peace of mind was restored! 

Marcus D. in Storden, MN had two cracked foundation walls in his basement and he also had water seeping in. Marcus began to seek advice and one of his friends recommended us since they previously enjoyed the work we did for them. Marcus trusted his friend’s opinion, so he called us to come out for a FREE estimate.

Our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, went to his home to evaluate the problem and find a solution for him. Eric developed a thorough plan to waterproof his basement and to stabilize his foundation. Marcus was pleased with the proposal, so they scheduled the installation. 

Our crew installed 12 Geo-Lock wall anchors along two walls in the basement. Once the anchors were in place and tightened, the walls were straightened and permanently stabilized. To waterproof his Marcus' basement, our team installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system which guides water to his SuperSump sump pump. From there, the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Our wall anchors and our waterproofing system are backed by a lifetime warranty, so Marcus has peace of mind that his basement is permanently protected.

A Wheaton, MN, homeowner had been keeping an eye on his foundation for some time. The homeowner had been aware of his foundation wall cracking in several places, but had been overwhelmed by the project and let it slip through the cracks. He decided to find a MN foundation repair company and quickly found our website. He was impressed with other work we had done in his area and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist went out to the home. When he arrived, he got right to work inspecting the home foundation. When he was done, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. He began by saying that foundation walls are not designed to withstand loads from the side, so when the pressure exceeds what it can withstand, it's not uncommon to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. He went on to say that he completely understands being overwhelmed by a large project and wanted the homeowner to know that he had options. Our Design Specialist went on to say that, in this case, he was recommending our PowerBrace system. The PowerBrace™ is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. This innovative system can also be tightened over time to meet the needs of the home. The homeowner was grateful for our Design Specialist's honest and transparent proposal and signed on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Emmanuel A, and his team effortlessly installed 9 of our PowerBrace's throughout the basement, successfully restoring our customer's confidence in his home!

Tim and Jerry A. of Wood Lake, MN had a gap between their garage floor and their garage wall. They needed to find a foundation repair contractor that could pull their wall toward their garage floor. They did their research and found our website. They scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist team. After our Design Specialist inspected their problem and proposed a solution, Tim and Jerry had a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his crew installed four of our wall anchors to pull the foundation wall closer to the garage floor. This system is installed by galvanized anchors, steel rods, and anchor plates, which provides the clamping pressure needed to bring the wall back to its natural position. Tim and Jerry were happy with the work that was done and couldn't believe that their wall was finally back to normal!

Jerry T. in Granite Falls, MN noticed that one of his garage foundation walls had a large exterior crack and it was bowing outward. He was concerned that the damaged wall was putting too much pressure on his foundation and did not want to get stuck in a situation where he had to replace the entire foundation. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so we had one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, go to his home to develop the right solution unique to Jerry’s home. Jerry was pleased to hear that we could permanently secure his foundation by installing wall anchors, so he scheduled to have our foundation repair system installed.

Our production team started the installation process by drilling long metal rods into the soil underneath the garage floor and through the block foundation wall. They removed small rectangles of concrete from the garage floor where they would secure the other end of the rods. They screwed anchor plates on to the rods and tightened them as far as they would go. Lastly, they replaced the concrete in the garage and cleaned up. The process was quick and efficient. Jerry was very pleased with the results and is glad he chose to protect his foundation by having it permanently repaired.
